General Discussion / HP printers and the hplip plugin
« on: July 04, 2024, 04:32:20 am »
Some HP printers need a binary plugin
The hplip (open source package) tool can download the plugin directly from HP
The plugin is an x86 binary
At some point HP added support for ARM
In some cases, the printer and flatbed scanner will work fine without the plugin but to use more advanced features, e.g. the ADF duplex mode, you need to have the plugin.
Does anybody have any experience with this issue, for example:
- is there any printer/scanner/ADF setup that gives a completely or as much as possible free experience?
- can the plugin be executed with an emulator?
- did anybody already raise a support request with HP for a ppc64el binary of the plugin?
